History of Acquire: This Sid Sackson classic has taken many different forms over the years depending on the publisher, yet the rules and game play have stayed the same. The 1966 version of the 3M bookshelf edition included rules for a 2-player variant. The original version is part of the 3M Bookshelf Series.
Many books and websites incorrectly list this as a 1962 publication as the 3M Company used previously copyrighted artwork when they released the game in 1964. 3M actually received the idea for the game of “Vacations” from Sid Sackson in May of 1963 and decided to take his idea and put it into artwork they had developed the year before for a game called “ACQUIRE.” 3M’s original game idea for a game called ACQUIRE must not have been very good so they decided to take Sid’s idea of Vacations and put it into their concept of ACQUIRE. They released some limited test market games in 8 Midwestern U.S. cities in December of 1963 with a box that had a 1963 copyright. These games had Sid’s original rules. When 3M released the mass market games in 1964, they had taken liberties with some of Sid’s original ideas and changed some rules and game play to match their production desires. They released them with outer boxes that were copyrighted 1962 and inner boxes with rules that were dated 1963
